Solution

The correct option is A Serosa
The wall of alimentary canal possesses four layers- serosa, muscularis, sub mucosa, and mucosa. Serosa is the outermost layer and is made up of a thin mesothelium and connective tissue. Muscularis is formed by smooth muscles usually arranged into an inner circular and an outer longitudinal layer. Sub-mucosa layer is formed of loose connective tissues containing nerves, blood and lymph vessels. Glands are also present in sub-mucosa of duodenum. Mucosa is the innermost layer lining the lumen of the alimentary canal.
So, the correct answer is 'Serosa'
